“Beautiful village location, central to the area we were visiting. The cottage was a very old barn conversion, which we loved, and was in excellent order throughout. Very clean and well equipped. Owners were very friendly and accommodating.”

Boasting a classic country charm and with original beams and wall timbers, and with a large kitchen/diner, cosily furnished sitting room and a private enclosed courtyard garden, well equipped for outdoor relaxation and dining, Sykes House Cottage has been tastefully decorated throughout to make a truly inviting holiday cottage base. Situated in a quiet area, yet close to the excellent pub/restaurant and well-stocked shop in the centre of the village, this Halford cottage is also in an ideal location for enjoying Warwick and Kenilworth castles, Stratford-upon-Avon and the Cotswolds.
